Knitting for Beginners

With all things we do there is a first time. It is a long time since I knitted my first stitch and millions of stitches later I am proud to have contributed to the book Knitting for Beginners.

I like the book since it contains everything you need to become a knitter! It has 36 patterns and covers several different techniques. If you take very easily to knitting the book is not too basic. It covers some of the fun things like lace, cable and stranded knitting, along with simple scarf and other basic projects.

My contributions are, not surprisingly, Fair Isle projects. I created a hat in classic Nordic style specially for the book. The pattern will be available in the patten shop here on my blog soon.

I also contributed a pair for Fair Isle boot cuffs. They are fun and fast to knit and can be used with wellies and ankle boots.

The pattern for the Fair Isle Boot cuffs is available in the pattern shop.

If you are looking for an introduction to knitting I think the Knitting for Beginners will be a good place to start. Not only a good place to start, it also have projects to help you develop your new craft to a very competent level.

The book have both photo tutorials and online video tutorials.

There are some fun projects in the book I would like to make myself like the little penguin!

At the end of the book there is a section with different stitch patterns that makes it easy for the knitter to desired texture to your projects.

All in all it is a book that can make you fall in love with knitting – even if you have no previous experience!
